Das Zeitalter der KI-Agents hat begonnen. McKinsey schätzt, dass generative KI jährlich bis zu 4,4 Billionen Dollar mehr an Gewinnen einbringen könnte, und dass Mitarbeiter:innen, die generative KI nutzen, 40 Prozent produktiver arbeiten als diejenigen, die sie nicht nutzen.

Das bietet enormes Potenzial für den ROI und hilft, eine zentrale Herausforderung im Arbeitsalltag zu lösen – dass 41 Prozent der Arbeitszeit auf geringwertige Aufgaben entfällt. Teams arbeiten mit begrenzten Kapazitäten – und profitieren daher von einem Betriebssystem für die Zusammenarbeit, das auf Agents basiert, Produktivitätsgewinne erschließt und die Arbeit vorantreibt.

Agentforce in Slack bindet alle Agents in den Arbeitsalltag ein. Im Webinar wird es außerdem Infos zu neuen Funktionen für Agentforce in Slack geben: Slack wird dabei zur Schaltzentrale für Agents. Im Webinar erfährst du, wie Mitarbeiter:innen mit Agentforce über Direktnachrichten und Unterhaltungen in Channels interagieren und wie sie dank vorgefertigten Paketen für Themen und Aktionen schneller mit dem Aufbau ihrer eigenen Agentforce beginnen können.

Things you’ll learn:

- Agentforce in Slack über den Agentforce Hub erschließen und nutzen.
- Agentforce mit Slack-spezifischen Aktionen im Agent Builder erweitern
- Teams durch Agents mit vorgefertigten Fähigkeiten, Themen und Aktionen unterstützen.

Agentforce in Slack: Produktivität neu gedacht

L'era dell'IA autonoma è ormai iniziata. Secondo McKinsey, l'IA generativa potrebbe incrementare i profitti potenziali annui fino a 4,4 trilioni di dollari, mentre i dipendenti che utilizzano l'IA generativa registrano un aumento delle prestazioni del 40% rispetto a quelli che non la utilizzano

Questo ha un enorme potenziale di ROI e può aiutare a risolvere la sfida cruciale che i dipendenti devono affrontare ogni giorno: impiegare il 41% del loro tempo in attività a scarso valore. La forza lavoro opera a capacità fissa e ha bisogno di un sistema operativo di lavoro basato sull'assistenza degli agenti che sblocchi questi guadagni di produttività e faccia avanzare il lavoro.

Agentforce in Slack consente di integrare tutti gli agenti dei tuoi dipendenti nel flusso di lavoro. In Slack, Agentforce diventa più pertinente, perspicace e preciso quando attinge ai dati delle conversazioni pubbliche e autorizzate nel tuo spazio di lavoro.

Unisciti a noi per scoprire come i dipendenti interagiscono con Agentforce tramite le esperienze conversazionali di Direct Message e di canale e come poter iniziare a costruire il tuo Agentforce personalizzato più velocemente grazie ad argomenti e azioni predefiniti.

La era de la IA autónoma ha llegado. McKinsey estima que la IA generativa podría añadir hasta $4.4 billones de dólares beneficios potenciales anuales, y los empleados que utilizan IA generativa experimentan un aumento del 40% en su rendimiento en comparación con aquellos que no la usan.

Los equipos operan con una capacidad fija y necesitan un sistema operativo de trabajo basado en agentes que desbloquee estos aumentos de productividad y haga avanzar el trabajo.

Agentforce en Slack integra a todos los agentes en el flujo de trabajo. Estamos anunciando nuevas y emocionantes funciones de Agentforce en Slack, donde Slack se convierte en el centro neurálgico de tus agentes para empleados.

Slack is the best place for employees to interact with Agentforce. Learn how agents become teammates that take action in the flow of work.

The era of agentic AI has arrived. McKinsey estimates that generative AI could add up to $4.4 trillion in potential profits annually, and employees using gen AI experience a boost of 40% in performance compared with those who are not.

Pioneers of Change with Sohom Paul: Unlocking the Power of AI at Work

AI agents can be powerful, but their use necessitates the creation of accountability mechanisms and collaboration frameworks.

Trust in AI systems is crucial, and it is important to design AI systems in a way that ensures data security, content safety, and transparency. As AI agents become increasingly prevalent in our lives and workplaces, there is a need for designing AI agents that are accountable, trustworthy, and collaborative.  Establishing guardrails to control the actions of AI agents is essential to prevent them from overreaching or executing actions they have not been allowed to perform.

Originally presented at Slack City Tour London, join this webinar to hear an unbiased view from Franny Hsiao, Distinguished AI Architect at Salesforce.

Work with AI and Agents in Slack to Transform your Work Success (Italian Subtitles)

The concept of “work” is going through a big inflection point. The way we work is changing. The current work environment isn’t working. Employees are overwhelmed by information and applications. Knowledge workers use 11 to 25 applications daily. This makes them feel lost and spend more time on auxiliary tasks than actual work. It’s hard for employees to be efficient and effective when they have to use so many unconnected applications.

AI has the potential to dramatically improve productivity and efficiency. In fact, by 2030, it’s estimated that 80% of project management tasks will be automated. To take advantage of these benefits, we need to do more than just adopt new technology. We need to change the way we work.

Listen in to this session from Slack City Tour Amsterdam, to hear from Mike Rawson, CIO of citizenM on how they use Slack across various lines of business, how the company transitioned property management systems in just weeks instead of months, and how Slack has played an instrumental role in the Value Driven Agile approach Mike has developed. 

Things you’ll learn:
- The current state of work and its challenges
- What is the potential of AI and technology in the future of work
- citizenM's digital transformation journey and use of Slack
